if you want to look in the index, use the index browser:  
[http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/ferret-talk/2007-April/003007.html](http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/ferret-talk/2007-April/003007.html)

If you want to do an empty query (return all indexed records), i was  
wondering the same thing, since they were talking in a\_a\_solr list:

what happens when you do Model.find\_by\_contents(“\*”, {:limit =\> :all})

not sure that’s the right syntax, but i don’t have a linux box with me  
to test.
